Jeremiah Johnson — Finale

[saberbasir]

Fantastic film. Redford captures loneliness and isolation so completely. I feel like runing off and becoming a mountain man every time i see this film.

[42jailbar]

This is one of the best movies ever, a great movie to watch on a winters day. It is so under rated.

Robert Redford at his best.

"I been to a town."

[vetter200]

If a remake were to happen I think Brad Pitt in the lead role with Robert Redford directing would be the most respectful tribute to this amazing movie.

[rockinroller7]

@vetter200

Agreed. Especially given the fact that Redford already directed Pitt in "A River Runs Through It," and they shred the screen in "Spy Game."

Pitt said it was an honor to get to act with Redford.

But maybe you know all of this, given your suggestion.

Peace.

[vetter200]

@rockinroller7 Waiting for a good snow fall to light a fire and watch this!

[rockinroller7]

@vetter200

Me too.

Every winter.

Peace.

[atter0]

is he in montana? where was this filmed?

[FATYDECKS]

so did he end up fighting that indian

[WildGaston]

@FATYDECKS No, see jeremiah had been fighting the crow tribe thruout the most of the movie. and that indian was like the main warrior kinda and they finally made peace at the end.

[jbadaluco]

pretty moving there at the end

[BubbaJ47fg]

I cant belive its in the $5 bin at walmart

[mnnmmnnmmn]

Hey governorsid, thanks for the reply, but I did some digging and what I found was Tim McIntire sang the song. The way I saw the ending was, just like people in civilized life down in the towns are kinda nuts, with their wars and all, indians in the mountains can be kinda nuts as well with their beliefs and when he meets Paints his shirt red again, it was like 2 "REAL" people saying enough of the craziness, lets get real here and put an end to this madness. You're right, BEST MOVIE EVER MADE!

[governorsid1]

Originally planned for Clint Eastwood and to be directed by Sam Peckinpah.

[governorsid1]

That's the way I see it. As he runs to the door of his home and sees his family lying dead, there is an arrow in the door with the same markings mentioned by Bear Claw Grislap (Will Geer) in the beginning of the movie, an arrow belonging to Chief Paints-His-Shirt-Red. "Yep, that's his sign," said Bear Claw. So Jeremiah makes peace with the chief who killed his family. To me this shows Jeremiah's real reason for being is life alone in the mountains. Probably the greatest movie ever made.

[0104lgt]

@governorsid1 is the indian at the end the 'crow' people that are trying to repeatedly kill him? and then he makes peace with them? just not sure. i love this movie tho. its so peaceful and calm.

[pacerodi]

@0104lgt I think it's the same indian that saw Jeremiah fishing in the beggining of the movie.

[0104lgt]

@pacerodi thanks. thats crow. you know this when they catch him and the old dude in their territory, then johnson gives him the skins.

[rawwshard]

@pacerodi it is. he was also a crow which was the tribe he was fueding with. i believe he was calling truce with j.j on acount he held his ground against the crow attacks.

[spetsnaz5]

The french subtitles are wrong. They say I wish you good luck.

[markygermany]

one of the best movies ever! like lawrence from arabia and benajmin button,all three movies like to tell the viewers something..look all this 3 movies again and again,you will see what happen with you,at j.j. is the greatest movie for me next to benjamin button ,but..all three movies tell stories,view the movies 3-5 times,then you understand !

[zerokomma]

....best ending ever.

[64nashoba]

LOVE this movie ever since my mom took me to see it when I was 8 yrs. old.

[enjoythewildUSA]

.....an incredible film

[SnatchierRafael]

He is still up there! i just seen him the other day. running around like some sort of big foot on the loose! He's in the catskill mountain's!! Johnson ill am straight for ya head....so dont push me!

[mnnmmnnmmn]

Nevermind, I just found who sang the song. By the way, this was also my favorite movie as well.

[mnnmmnnmmn]

Anybody know who sang the song for the movie? Can't find the info anywhere.

[governorsid1]

Lonny Chapman sang. He also had a bit part as a bartender or store owner in the movie The Hunted with Tommy Lee Jones.

[IronNoggin1]

Fair Wind Buddy...

[maniijeh]

Anyway I love movies who played in the nature and this is one of them. living in Nature is peacfull and daring

[corcaighrebel]

GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

[golob13]

The best movie Sydney Pollack and Redford made together.

[misc46]

tally.the day that ya count.

[CPCiosekJr]

Best, saddest, and most powerful movie I ever saw. Great clip.

[sawsqdldr]

REYES U.S.M.C

[scheissdreckhass]

a man will always wonder where - gives me the creeps

[scheissdreckhass]

a masterpiece - forever

[Tatooinedragracer]

I love this movie. First saw it about 20 years ago and have seen it lots of times. Whenever it's on tv I watch it.

[Lovetogolf2005]

My buddy Rick Losey is up there too, in the Black Hills, watch your to notch!

[Celllie]

authentic pure...

[headinjuredkeeper]

Wonderful movie, one of my all time faves. I am reading The Frontiersmen right now by Allan Eckert. Awesome read about the Ohio Valley right before the Revolution.

[jormar6]

The way that you wander - is the way that you choose,

The day that you tarry - is the day that you lose...

[shotornot2]

@jormar6 TALLY

NOT TARRY

The day you stop to count what you have, is the day you lose it because it ties your mind down with the worry of loss.

Nothing is REALLY ours anyway, we just take care of ir for those after us.

[jormar6]

@shotornot2 Your statement is true but he doesn't say TALLY he says TARRY. It's not the counting (tallying) that causes you to lose but the stopping or waiting (tarrying) that causes you to lose because life and time passes us by leaving us behind. The context is wandering and moving in time and space here on earth which is spatial and temporal. The day that you TARRY is the day that you lose. Listen to it closely. =)

[TOMCAT1955]

Full time night woman? I never could find no tracks on a woman's heart. I packed me a squaw for ten year, Pilgrim. Cheyenne, she were, and the meanest bitch that ever balled for beads. I lodge-poled her at Deadwood Creek, and traded her for a Hawken gun. But don't get me wrong; I loves the womens, I surely do. But I swear, a woman's breast is the hardest rock that the Almighty ever made on this earth, and I can find no sign on it.

[maximum1954]

Absolutely my favorite movie. In this scene, the finale, Jeremiah has come full circle. It's the same Indian that saw him fumble with the fish in the creek at the beginning. Jeremiah went through hell and has proven he is worthy do be living with the Indians. My thought is that the Indian is saying, "Let's be at peace", and when Jeremiah raises his hand, it's over and they are at peace, the fighting(war) is over.

[TOMCAT1955]

DITTO!I have a ACTUAL script from the movie,dated 1970(not a copy)....I just had Redford sign it when he was doing the Conspirator here in Savannah last fall.He told me it was his Favorite Movie....By the way,the script has two endings.the one here is better in my opinion....in the other ending........I will keep that a secret : ) Fantastic Movie,lots of Great Scenery and Great lines !!!

[maximum1954]

@TOMCAT1955 It would be interesting to know what the other ending would have been. So many possibilities. I could see J.J. dying fighting the Indian in the finale. I am just throwing darts here. There really could be so many outcomes. I see another ending. J.J. is left to the imagination as to if he is alive or dead and becomes like a ghost/spirit figure. Such as when he sees what looks like a grave and it's really a monument.

"I've been to a town".

[FrancisPassion]

Perhaps the first film in my adolescence

who awakes my love for cinema.

Just one year after the mythical Little Big Man, the american cinema begins his

reconciliation with his own history.

The final scene is legendary because

it is one of the best of westerns dramas:

that seems inevitable (the confront) does

not come place.

It is impossible to forget the beauty of the mountain in particular and the nature in general that are filmed with a rare perfection.

[Cory4474]

me too brother

[Brasacrasta]

I would like so much to live there....

[bearfinger]

One of the best movies ever made. Beautiful scenery and amazing story. They don't make them like this any more.

[mal334455]

@bearfinger .....i agree, one of the very best westerns ever made

[Jonno2summit]

This lasts scene is all about respect. At that moment Johnson realized the respect from Paints His Shirt Red, and had earned the right to live despite the mistake he'd made earlier.

[solimiansky]

they don't make great movies like this one anymore, a shame.

[AngryScotProductions]

sunshine or thunder a man will always wonder wear...the fair wind blows.... where the fair wind blows..... i think what makes movies sad for people is because they relate to them this reminds me of my father who is as close asu can get to a modern day jeremiah johnson nd he has alot of pain in his life its the same thing with people who cry over like uhm.. twilight cause they relate to it:P

[CB750k5]

Now that was a life , No politics , no worries and the only thing stressful was getting your next meal , hearing the wind in the cold mountains rather hearing some loud mouth in the news , just being alive with nature

[Juicedup58]

FUCKING HICK..............jk i know what u mean sometimes i feel like i was supposed to be born during the western times

[CB750k5]

HIck far from it LOL but nice one , To me western time or now I rather be on a snow top mountain then being glued to a tv

[stcrzyaatyrs]

Hey the mountains are there, have at it. I built a cordwood cabin in Guffey Colo. 20 yrs ago, took me 2 yrs, and I went cabin crazy, wow wake up with a frozen mustache every night at 3am freezin my ass off, finally bought a load of coal that would burn all night to keep from freezing to death:( I hunted killed lots of animals, I learned these creatures have just as much right to live, bask in the sunshine, play in the snow, fly on the winds as I had a right to. I never hunted after that!

[CB750k5]

Ah Yeah

[Chiparoo22]

Ride due west of the Sunset,

Turn left at the Rocky Mountains

[INUIT3333]

Thats it !

[Theozzie11]

what a life, no money, no job, no worries only surviving i wish i was born in this time period for i would be a mountain man with only my thoughts to keep me company

[Chiparoo22]

Then you would have had a happy life - BUT - not a long one : (

[tinamoberly]

quality not quantity my friend

[Chiparoo22]

Great metal you show ! But, wonder if ye be so brave when the Grim Reaper stands before ye - at say 40 years old - the approx. age many mountain men of those times survived to - after dealing with all that nature throws at one ? No sarcasm ment in my comment at you !

[baredd79]

@Theozzie11 Go ahead. What's stopping you?

[Theozzie11]

o i would, but where ......and i wouldnt survive but like 1 month lol

[baredd79]

@Theozzie11 Yeah, you might you end up like that kid in the movie "Into the Wild" lol.

[SB2132]

There will never be another movie made about Mountain Men or that lifestyle that is as good as this...CLASSIC! PERIOD!

[TOMCAT1955]

Agreed "Pilgrim"!

[maximum1954]

@TOMCAT1955 How cool to have such a script. With Redford's signature it makes it a one of a kind. "Saw it right off".

[triumphelf]

good Movie --thanks for sharing

a ta scena-nie do zapomnienia

[mountainmen1969]

As I've got older the tipi has gotten colder. Being a mountainmen is a young mans game. one season 250 breaver

[minesofmoriaman]

[jimq49]

my favorite movie of all-time

[tinamoberly]

mine too

[Robertamissoniluv]

Makes me want to be a mountain man.

[fortheloveoflaughs3]

'Jeremiah Johnson made his way into the mountains. He was betting on forgetting all the troubles that he knew...'

You know who I am, and I will always love you. always...

[mimkebab]

Crows fucking soon of the bitches nation. They are only make blowjob for White Man.

I'm Turkish but my soul only Native American ! My brave , honest and fearless Native brothers.

[quigonpaj]

Pollack shoulda had a scene with him eating the livers of those Crow he killed, like the real John Johnson, upon whom the movie was based....

[pisti1961]

super!

[osocuteagent99]

Robert Redford, one of the best actors of all time.

[osocuteagent99]

Whats on the spit pilgrim?  Gotten picky in yer old age?

[Zarin822]

"And some folks say hes up there still"

The legend of Jeremiah Johnson will never die

[UdoBallermann]

a great movie, i guess the best ever made about mountain mens life!

and also time to remember the greatest of them, CHRISTOPHER "KIT" CARSON.

[quigonpaj]

Kit Carson was a greenhorn compared to Liver-Eatin' Johnson. In fact, in this movie, he only gets about one-tenth of the coups that the real-life Crow-Killer had. I wish Pollack would've included the scene where Johnson escaped from capture by the Blackfeet. I guess it would've been a bit gruesome, what with him cutting the leg off his sentry for food on his way back home....

[squishy951]

that movie was ok... kinda weird!!

[KatarinaSu]

I agree that is was kind of a strange movie, but it was far better than ok. I think it's absolutely positively great.

[tacraft61]

one of the best movies of the genre ever

[le93niquetout]

The way that you wander is the way that you choose. The day that you tarry is the day that you lose. Sunshine or thunder, a man will always wonder where the fairwind blows...awesome music and utah landscape,absolutely one of the greatest films ever

[asenath1954]

did nt know it was filmed in utah,you re right it is brilliant there, I loved this film and I will never ,ever cross an indian burial ground ,

[mbie202]

.......and some folks say he's up there still.

[Keys879]

One of the best.

[DAVABLUE]

GREAT FILM
